Update, we aren't sure our pair have been staying overnight anymore which worries us. I am usually up about 4-4:30am everyday and watch for them to come out of their gourd. The evenings we haven't noticed them either. We also feel throughout the day we see them somewhat less. We do know they are trying hard to get some prospects to join the colony. There has been one SY female with them quite a bit but she just doesn't know what our guy is selling/isn't ready yet to commit. They also have another SY with them who could be a male, maybe she likes both IDK.
They come in the morning I'd say every day, sometimes with prospects, go in the gourd for a short time and then it just seems like our girl won't stay. We noticed the male on the 22nd bring leaves in the gourd so we checked, yes, we have leaves. If she brings them, we can't say.
Throughout the day, he comes sits on the perch, chatters and then takes off after her. We will see her up in the air but she doesn't land. This is happening more and more.
The gourds were pre-nested and we do know if we see leaves that is a great sign, she just seems a little aloof when here. I would expect them to hang here but without another pair maybe not?
In my head is that she likes another colony, likes our place too but has been building at the other place and committed to that colony more so than our. He is quite committed to us that much we know.
Are we just nuts!!!
Looking for some reassurance I guess and opinions. The nest says eggs will happen, behavior by her is not what we expected.
